Yes, emails from Comcast/Xfinity are usually from the address you posted (the underline was added by the email program), but that doesn't prove anything, because it's very easy for scammers to fake the "From:" email address. So if you check your email with Comcast's Xfinity Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/), as stated, look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo next to any message that claims to be from Comcast/Xfinity. Note that anyone can insert an XFINITY Verified image in the body of an email, so it's important to note not only the presence of that image, but that it is in the correct locations:
See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email for examples of valid logo placement. A logo in the body of the email does not count.
If the logo is missing when you view the message in webmail, the message is not from Comcast. Unfortunately, AFAIK the logo is not present when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you use their web email site.
Samples of recent scammer phishing messages can be found at https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/alerts/ under "Top Phishing Scams".
To report a scam email to Comcast, follow the "Report Spam and Phishing Emails" link on https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse/ and scroll down to the "Report Phishing Emails" section.

Most likely not. Official emails from Comcast/Xfinity will have this when you open it up:

@fredled57 : Yes, "online.communications@alerts.comcast.net" is a valid "From:" address for Comcast/Xfinity emails. But as stated above, "From:" addresses cannot be trusted because it's easy for scammers to fake them. Instead check such emails with Comcast's Xfinity Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/) and look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo. See the discussion above.
